Already do!

Already do!

Jeff, just for the record, I agree that you have a right to your opinion. The management of this site wants members and solicits your membership (membership + sponsorship + adds = money); therefore I believe you have the right to express your opinion on this site, especially on matters that affect you and other members. Having said that, my previous post still holds...namely, that the management of this site is completely within their purview to run it any way they please within the law.

Thanks, I appreciate all your posts on this topic. You are correct with "Jeff" by the way.

Hey, 57 posts about nuting..... Lets here about your tractor...

Love it. Never had one before, so I have a lot to learn. I guess I came to the the right place, no one here was to shy to tell me what they think. I have 65 acres, using it for brush hogging, snow plowing and wood.

Hello Jeff,

Welcome to TBN. This thread was moved to the News/Feedback section. Not in an attempt to censor you, but in an attempt to stay organized.

 

[madmax12]

That is of course correct, but being correct is not a prerequisite to obtaining your goal...ask me how I know...I've fought that battle on another forum; as it turns out, the man with the fuzzy kahunies...the stud duck...the man who owns and operates the website has the last say, and since it's his ball game, he calls it as he sees it. If he takes a vote or askes for input, I'll be glad to contribute...but in the meantime, as the old saying goes, we're screwed, blued and tattooed. I decided on the other site, that I had to acknowledge his omnipotence or bow out. I did the latter for awhile, and then returned, hat in hand, tail between my legs, and dripping with contrition, accepted my place in the pecking order.

Being aware of the thread that was removed, and reading this one, I find this post well put...and ironic.

It might have served as a good illustration, and could have been thought provoking in the removed thread...had it been posted there, in the context of that discussion. It would have been a new direction, but in the same arena. And all participants would probably have had a different take on it.

I don't think it would have brought harmony to all of us with strong convictions and thoughts...in very different directions.

But, it might have been interesting.

Tractors are cool. Everyone here is great.

About 22 are wood and I rent about 35 to a local farmer, i'm not making money but I like it being used. The rest is house and yard. Thanks for the welcome.

To those that were kind in trying to explain why these rules came about, thank you. To those who were not, I have thick skin and I thank you too.

Guessing my last post probably comes under your "thick skin" category, so sorry for that.... :welcome:

I know how mad I have felt at times when I have made what I feel to be a justified statement about the running of the site, only to hammered in return - and that is why I have changed my outlook to accept and embrace the fact that the site will be run how the owners see fit, and that on the whole it is a great community to be a part of...

For interest, my issue with TBN about a year back was that the European thread didn't work - now we don't even have one anymore! But I accept that given most users are US based, maybe there isn't the demand that I think there would be....

Anyway, welcome to TBN, congrats on getting to 50 posts so quickly - and how did you get into the front porch before getting to 50 posts????

:laughing:

A couple of guys asked me that. I don't know, the only thing I can think of is, I started the thread and it moved right away. Other than that I don't know.

Think of it this way.
1. You have a neighbor that has a different opinion but expresses his ideas in a halfway intelligent way that gets you to thinking.
2. A stranger at the street corner is yelling at you, calling you names because he assumes you don't agree with his point of view on a topic.

Which one would you avoid.

After one post for a while and adds to the general knowledge base of the tractor community one might act more like a neighbor and be accepted more like a neighbor than a paid troll from a political organization. I think that's the plan anyway..

TBN is all about useful information exchanged in a friendly manner.

Excellent post and point Don. May I steal this?
